It's more like two committees in fact. There's the not-quite-randomly-selected people who interview you, and write feedback. Then there's the completely separate set of people on the hiring committee who make a decision read

they're not the same though? I've been out of EE for like 15 years so I forget exactly how, but I don't think they're the same. edit: yup sibling comment has it, that was what I was forgetting

Google culture is significantly different from 10-15+ years ago. Some of those differences can be uncomfortable for someone used to the earlier times. But also a Director is probably pulling >$1,000,000 / yr (the golden handcuffs).

To be fair, if your rollbacks are cheap (1-3 button pushes), safe, and automated, it doesn't really hurt to try a rollback while you look for other causes.

True, I just mean that (a) most of that you can get to by car and then foot it just sucks (b) it's not like Alaska where literally 80% of it is inaccessible

No I just meant how much could it have changed since 2014 if it was also 2014 or soon after it, seems like a weird thing for a reviewer to say without further qualification I'd have to go ask my dad about how all this works specificall

It's still a thing in China when applying for PhD programs, at least in some Unis in Beijing. Idk if it occurs once you're already in, or just at the application.

Sure, but notably not the majority. It's predominantly a west / southwest thing. So GP's advice should caution that that specific legal advice doesn't apply to most people in the US.

Right as others have mentioned, it's not $100k in savings, it's $100k total across their stuff. But even if it was $100k savings, you can get ~5% APY at BoA high yield savings through Merrill anyways. I don't recommend that

Yup and their CMA is better than the big 4 banks offerings. Get HYSA equivalent rates but just use it like normal checking, not having to shuffle stuff around like with Citi or BoA

BoA has this, if you have at least $100k - a 2.625% cash back card, and with Merrill also has competitive HYSA (last I checked, 0.5% higher than Citi). BoA can be great if you have money, but sucks if you don't.

Oh man, that explains a lot of my confusion. I've seen people say weary and I thought they actually meant weary. Like they were tired because of the thing. But it never scanned correctly, so I was just confused. Now it makes sense -

Yea sure Basically when they made SPY it was such a new ETF (it was the first US ETF) that they didn't have a lot of good legal precedent to go with / copy, so they were kinda winging it. What they did know was Unit Investment Tru

China's social credit system was developed decades after they had already established much lower crime rates than the US, and seems at best tangentially related. At the point that the social credit system was conceived (2000-ish?), Chi
